More Deserters Arrested.
On the 4th inst., Darius Purdy was brought in, having been arrested at Unadilla.
Charles E Evans, of Sidney, was brought here in the same day, but discharged on account of his youth.
Reuben Rundell, arrested at Colchester, and Hawley J. Denio, at Harvard, were brought in on the 7th.
Peter Houghtailing was arrested at Colchester, on Saturday, but escaped from the officers through the complicity of certain individuals, no doubt sympathizers with rebellion, who were very decidedly informed by Mr. Carpenter, the officer, that if the escaped deserter was delivered up to the Provost Marshal at Delhi within a certain number of hours it might prevent their arrest under a charge of aiding and abetting the escape. Houghtailing was brought in by the persons in question within the prescribed time.
The four deserters are now in jail, and will soon be taken to head-quarters.—[Delhi Express.

_OOMVILLE, DELAWARE CO.
HEADQUARTERS 1ST DIVISION, 6TH ARMY
CORPS, FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, June 22.
Mr. Mirror—My last article to your columns was captioned "White Oak Church, Va." So your readers may observe our army has been making a backward movement, or in military language—a "change of base." The reasons assigned for this movement are yet somewhat mysterious, although our army is now in a position either to defend the Capitol, or to follow Lee's rear should he attempt to march his forces across the Potomac.
The main body of the enemy are at present behind the Bull Run Mountains; so it is dificult [sic] to know what will be the next movement. Yesterday heavy cannonading was heard in the direction of Snicker's Gap, ceasing at intervals, but from the sound they seemed to be warmly engaged. No news has reached us as to the result.—Posibly [sic], these are preliminaries to another great battle.
This Division broke camp at White Oak Church, on Saturday, June 6th, to commence the Summer campaign. Our place of destination turned out to be on the south side of the Rappahannock, to relieve the 2d (Gen. Howe's) Division, which had crossed the day previous. As our corps was the only one which had broke camp, it created some surprise among the troops as to what was to be accomplished by this movement.
A strong line of rifle pits and redoubts were thrown up for defense in case of an attack. So our division lay behind the intrenchments [sic], watching the enemy's movements on the Heights below Fredericksburg. On the right the sharpshooters of both parties kept picking off officers, who rode along the lines to reconnoiter. Sometimes a poor sharpshooter or picket would meet with a casualty.
Every evening at nearly sunset, the artillery of the enemy would open upon our trains or some other object, when the guns from the forts on Stafford Hills, below Falmouth, would reply, when the rebels would cease. Things continued thus until Friday evening, when arrangements were made to evacuate. The exceeding stillness, and a moon-light night, rendered it impossible without being discovered, so it had to be postponed. On Saturday it was generally known that our force would re-cross, even if the picket line had to be sacrificed. At sunset on Saturday evening, seven companies of the 15th N. J., 1st Division, and details from the 3d division, 7th and 37th Mass., 36th N. Y. and 2d R. I., were ordered on picket. Away they started, bidding their comrades goodbye, promising to write from Richmond, as they had little expectation of getting off picket without being captured. The rebel pickets told ours in the morning we should never get our pickets away. At dust a heavy thunder storm commenced, the rain pouring down in true Southern style, when our artillery could be heard re-crossing, followed by the troops. At about 11 P. M., orders were given to the picket line to withdraw as quietly as possible, when each man began to fall back. After getting behind our rifle-pits, each man made an independent run for the pontoon bridge, turning somersets in the darkness, in spite of fate. Reaching the crossing place, we found the bridge has been taken up, and so we had to be patient until boats could be sent to carry us across. More than an hour was spent before boats were sent, though at any moment the enemy might have appeared. The fault was soon found out to be that commissary whiskey was plenty. We waited until daybreak loading pontoons, when we bid the Rappahannock adieu, and ascended the Stafford Hills. Gen. Hooker came riding along towards the river, no doubt to see what the enemy were doing. We halted at Potomac Creek Station until dusk, when we made a night march, reaching Stafford Court House shortly before daybreak. After resting about an hour, we again started, hungry and weary, having been deprived of sleep for three nights successively. But such is a soldier's life. The day became warm, and towards noon the heat was intense. A short time was allowed about 10 A. M., to cook breakfast, but many were too tired to cook, and some there were whose stock of provisions were exhausted.—In the march of the afternoon, the troops were so exhausted they could be seen in groups along the road resting. There were some who still kept up until they dropped in the road and ditch. It is said there were eight who met such a fate. Many were sun struck, and among them I saw Sergt. Wm. McK. Thompson, who was some time insensible. He was brought in an ambulance to this place, and is again recovering.
The corps bivouacked for the night at Dumfries, and on Tuesday marched to Fairfax Station, and reached here on Thursday. Gen. Wright, formerly of the Ohio Department, commands this Division. Our former Gen., Brooks, is now in command of the Pittsburg Department. His departure from this command is much regretted, as he was a great favorite with all. Where he commands there is no need of fear. He is a hero in every respect.
This army is in expectation of a great battle at almost any hour.
